Sarah Hopkinson Celebrant

Sarah is a native English-speaking celebrant based in Nice, creating and leading unique ceremonies for weddings and elopements on the Cote d'Azur

Services

Inside a stylish Nice apartment, a wooden writing desk positioned near tall French windows holds the tools of a wedding celebrant: a sleek laptop displaying a blurred document, a stack of neatly arranged ceremony drafts clipped together, and a fine nib pen resting on a linen notepad. Through the windows, the soft blues of the Mediterranean and tiled rooftops of the Côte d’Azur are visible but gently out of focus. Morning light streams in, creating refined, diagonal shadows across the desk’s smooth oak grain and catching the edges of the creamy paper. Photographed from an overhead, three-quarter angle, the image feels calm, thoughtful, and professional, highlighting the craft of creating intimate, personalized English-language ceremonies in a sophisticated, modern, photographic style.

Make your ceremony special with a bespoke script for your wedding, elopement or vow renewal on the French Riviera.

As your celebrant, I’ll learn your love story and craft it into a moving ceremony, capturing the emotions and experiences of becoming the couple you are today.

You can include as many wedding rituals as you’d like, from vows to rings to family traditions.

Since your wedding or elopement on the Côte d’Azur is a symbolic commitment and not a legal marriage, you don’t need to worry about formalities and paperwork.

Your ceremony is entirely your own.

How it works

Every booking begins by reaching out to me via my contact form. We’ll have a short call to discuss dates, your venue and other details.

Once we’re set, we’ll have a longer call where I’ll get to know you individually and as a couple. Every call is different but I’ll make sure to find out how you’d like to feel on your wedding day. Then I’ll turn your story into your ceremony script.

In the lead-up to your ceremony, you can reach out to me at any time with questions or requests.

And on the day, I’ll be right by your side, from the start to the closing kiss.
